WHY LEATHER TYPE IS IMPORTANT
LEATHER WE USE
When hides are selected they are graded, typically from a #1 to # 3. The preferred hide by many tanneries s the North American Jumbo Steer. The outer most portion of the hide is called FULL GRAIN. This part of the hide has the most dense fibers. This is the part of the hide that is expsoed to the environment. You will know you have true FULL GRAIN leather if shows some artifacts. NOTE: The animal the hide came off of lived outside, grew outside and was exposed to the elements.
Some prefer the "European" look. This method typically involves sanding or processing the outer most part of the hide. This does provide a smoother look but also makes the hide weaker in that it removes part of the outer most (FULL GRAIN) part of the hide. This is called TOP GRAIN.
Equally important is the way the hide is tanned and processed. True vegetable tanned leather produces the best leather. Is is the strongest, most attratcive and duable when compared to other methdos of tanning.
There are some claims of semi-vegetable tanned and other methods of tanning. Factually there are primairly two methods of truning a hide into leather, vegetable tanning and chemcial tanning. We use pure vegetable tanned leather.
The Parts of A Hide
HIDE COMPONENTS
As this picture illustrates the hide is composed of several component parts. Actual leather (as opposed to synthetic leather) comes from, tyically, a North American Jumbo Steer. The strongest, more durable and most attractive part of the hide is the outer most part of the hide called FULL GRAIN.
